Just need a little help getting a ssd and Win 10 cleanly installed!
Hey I have a older Intel H57 mobo chipset which came with my Dell XPS 8100 Studio desktop and I know it's only sata 3 but would like to install a 120gb PNY SSD. I am a little confused because Dell has my single WD Black Cav 1tb HDD running in RAID in the bios menu. How should I go about installing the 120gb SSD for Win 10 x64 and a couple games also keep the WD 1tb HDD as a media, games, etc system storage drive? I have a decent amount of experience with Windows installation and computers in general just never messed with a SSD drive before. I know my mobo/chipset will limit the speed of the SSD but I think my system will still benefit. I have a i7 860 cpu, h57 mobo/5 series 3400 chipset, 8gb 1333mhz ram, Evga FTW 960GTX 4GB gpu, 600w psu, and the WD Black Cav 1tb 7200rpm HDD. Any advice, guides, or help at all would be great! Thanks!
